Makagago, a prominent vlogger, has issued a stark warning to Diwata regarding content creators who seem to have become overly reliant on his presence, with nearly all of their content revolving around him. Specifically, Makagago singled out vlogger Alvin TV, who is said to be earning millions, with the majority of his content featuring Diwata. Even when Alex Gonzaga visited to create content with Diwata, it was scarcely beneficial, as Alvin TV had already posted similar content on his vlogs, thereby preempting the trajectory of those videos.
According to Makagago, these vloggers practically live at Diwata’s place, churning out content from morning till night, both at their studios and at Diwata’s location. Allegedly, not all of their content portrays Diwata in a positive light, as there are also videos where netizens critique the food served at Diwata’s place.
Makagago emphasizes that Diwata’s fame may not last forever, but the vloggers are currently profiting more from her presence. Despite their substantial earnings, these vloggers allegedly fail to share their wealth with Diwata. Makagago advises Diwata to revamp her Facebook page and vlogs so that she can profit directly, rather than allowing vloggers to exploit her.
This warning sheds light on the complexities of influencer dynamics in the digital age. While Diwata may have initially benefited from the exposure provided by these vloggers, it appears that the balance of power has shifted, with vloggers reaping the financial rewards while Diwata’s earnings remain uncertain. It underscores the importance for influencers to assert control over their own brand and revenue streams, rather than becoming mere pawns in the content creation game.
Makagago’s cautionary message serves as a wake-up call not only for Diwata but for all influencers who may find themselves in a similar situation. It highlights the need for influencers to take ownership of their platforms and financial futures, rather than allowing others to profit off their image and popularity.
